How to Save GIFs from Twitter to a Computer or Mobile Device

Proven ways for you to download GIFs from Twitter to your computer, iPhone/iPad, or Android phone.

GIF is an image file format that supports both animated and static images. Although GIFs are essentially images, you can't save GIFs from Twitter like you save other images. That's because the GIFs you upload to Twitter will be converted to a video and thus the GIF file becomes a video file.

Given That, here I will show you how to download GIFs from Twitter using free Twitter GIF downloaders. Some of them also work well as a Twitter video downloader with which you are able to save a video from Twitter.
